The goddamn piss poor state of the NZ$ on the currency market is the only thing that stops me buying everything in sight ..

And of course our proximity to the rest of the world doesn't help. I recently took a look at what I could find in Australia and found sellers who don't ship to NZ!! What the .... ?!

There's some stuff available here but not enough really to make a serious collection out of (or am I just not looking hard enough?), though I have no reason to buy vinyl right now cos I have nothing to play them on. Anyways, I need to get a place of my own so I really need to stop spending altogether ... doubt I will though, can't help myself

Also it might be an obvious point, but there are tons of sellers on ebay that ship worldwide. You'll obviously have to pay a bit for it, but i've bought several things from Australian eBay and shipping has never been that much for one CD/7" to the UK.

You're not looking hard enough. You must have never seriously looked on Trade Me as I don't think I've ever had an opposing bid..

Been to Real Groovy?

Yeah I looked on Real Groovy and did see a couple of things I'd like, but nothing at what I'd call 'bargain' prices, though the free shipping in NZ is a bonus. To be honest I don't get anywhere near as much time as I'd like to spend on this sort of activity, so I have to go back there soon and make a purchase.

Do they point out in thier message that they dont ship to NZ? or do you just read the "ships to"???
Otherwise just send them an email asking if they could consider shipping to NZ?

Yeah I was just going on the "ships to" part and the fact that no charge to NZ was quoted, and yeah I could email them but I guess I just don't understand why any aussie seller wouldn't automatically list 'next door' as a shipping destination

Obviously I did check out sellers that ship worldwide, but the GBP goes a WHOLE lot further than the NZ$ worldwide. To ship 1 cd single for US$10 = around NZ$18 on top of the cost of the cd, and to ship 1 cd single for 6-7GBP = around NZ$18 also on top of the cd, when the cd itself can be costing around NZ$20-30. Honestly our dollar is almost as worthless as currencies of some third world countries ... it's FUKD UP!!

Yeah I did see this one and I do want it, don't remember if I saw it at that price though. Cheers anyway, am gonna do something about it asap.

Unfortunately the nearest store is 8-9 hrs drive from where I live ..
